Today marks the 260th day of 2003. Notable events include the 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution, the 1862 Antietam battle, the 1920 formation of the American Professional Football Association, the 1939 Soviet invasion of Poland, and subsequent milestones through 1996 and beyond.
The Texas House gave preliminary approval to a Republican drawn congressional redistricting map sponsored by Rep. Phil King 77-60 amid Democratic protests that it dilutes minority and rural voters. The plan could give Republicans up to 21 seats, with final House approval pending and Senate rejection likely.
The proposed Texas map moves Baytown mostly into Gene Green's 29th District while parts stay in Lampson's field. Bell's 25th District shifts southwest of Harris County and Midland gains its own district. Democrats criticize the plan as harming Jefferson and Galveston counties.
Molly Beth Malcolm, first woman chair, will resign as Texas Democratic Party chair effective October 25 to focus on family duties. The State Democratic Executive Committee will elect a new chair on that date. Malcolm, a former Republican who led since 1998, cites time constraints amid ongoing rebuilding efforts after losses in 1998 2002 and November elections.
